so.. which distribution is not going to patch out this secret chromium extension?

@karolherbst The question is also what Chromium-Derivates like Vivaldi will do.

One thing I haven seen so far: disabling it/patching it out and seeing if things like Google Meet break --- if they do, it'll be very hard to justify just deleting the code.

I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.

A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.

Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!

But the display on the control read "18"

Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.

@TechConnectify I think troubleshooting is a subset of deductive reasoning, and that is useful in many different contexts. I agree it's one of the most practical applications, so it might as well be the 101 course.

And later we get to "discerning what you know from what you assume". Other topics: stating a problem clearly enough for someone else (or yourself) to understand it. Distinguishing correlation from causation etc.

About troubleshooting, always remember: sometimes trouble shoots back.

I'm gonna be trying something different out tomorrow. Something between a re-do and a re-run.

It's a new shoot using almost entirely old B-roll and a significant re-work of the script. Basically, I wanted to combine the two dishwasher videos into one sub-half-hour video focused more on "tips and tricks" and less on my opinions on detergent (though you bet it still contains opinions on detergent!).

@TechConnectify I would be aghast if there were no opinions on detergent.
